The free major update includes new items, enemies, and a revamped talent tree
Lesquin, October 29, 2026 – ACE Team isn’t done giving the chills to adventurers around the world who love Lovecraftian stories: for Halloween, it has prepared new unspeakable terrors in the cooperative horror game The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. The free major update, “The Cult of Tsathoggua,” is available now on PC, PlayStation®5, and XBOX Series X|S.
It is said, that among the many monstrosities inhabiting the cursed continent, some rise to the rank of deities. Tsathoggua is one such entity: an evil being with a grotesque appearance reminiscent of an oversized amphibian. The Great Old One lurks somewhere deep within the bowels of the cursed continent, and only the most daring adventurers can flush it out.
In addition to an area dedicated to Tsathoggua, this update introduces many new features:
- Revamped Treasure Shrines: Collecting valuable items will be riskier, as some of them may alert nearby monsters, summon creatures, or deal damage to players.
- New weapons and occult items to fend off monsters, and even pit them against each other.
- Revamped progression: Players can now reach level 70 and spend their earned skill points to unlock additional abilities, such as resistance to bleeding, extra stamina, or movement speed.
- New sanity effects: Are you sure you’re holding a sword or a spear in your hands…?
Since its July 15 release, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu has received numerous updates. ACE Team, which is very responsive to its community, has already made several changes to improve the gameplay experience and game balance. With this update, the studio invites adventurers to delve even deeper into the horror.
